Got an update on my Verizon Galaxy S3 today... They moved the location of the refresh button on the browser. Talk about annoying... I keep trying to click where it used to be, but that is now a back button.

So apparently my phone has stopped syncing with Yahoo since the update. Can't even get it to manually update. It will claim that it synced, but I can plainly see in my inbox that I've received email over the past 2 days.

I used Dolphin HD on my Droid X, and I liked it a lot. Sticking with Chrome for the S3.

Edit: as for the battery issue with the new update, I'm guessing this new Google Cards are using more juice. My phone shows the screen using a huge amount of battery (which is normal), and then maps...but I haven't used maps other than in the Cards.

Google Now is awesome. I googled a winery on my laptop, then i picked up my phone and had directions waiting for me. Can't wait till it gets some updates and gets even better (more creepy). Supposedly it'll pull things from Gmail like flights for digital boarding passes and airport info. I'm flying next week, so I'm anxious to see how it works.

The Google Cards service is wild. From home, it told me the time to work and traffic conditions...in my rural town! I read somewhere that Google Maps uses "swarm" traffic to determine travel times and conditions. So if a car with an Android (or any phone with Google Maps?) slows down in traffic, this data is uploaded to Google. It then relays the info to others traveling the same route.

Gotta love millions of data points... can you imagine the processing power necessary?
